Abstract
A MEMS chip sensor (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) based upon detection of an induced inductance in the sensor is described. The sensor is used in an environment for detection of fluid pressures. The method and system is particularly used in animals, including humans, to sense pressure changes, particularly pressure in the eyeball.
